Are we allowed to put a DMD installer on http://chocolatey.org as a
package? I'd be interested in building a bulk installer for DMD + dub +
Mono-D but I'm not sure about the licensing terms b/c the dmd back-end
is supposedly proprietary.

Go here (with JS on):

Use the "Send email to Walter Bright" and request permission. He's known
to be cool about this sort of thing. IIUC, the whole "permission" thing
is just a formality necessitated by the backend's former life as part of
various companies's commercial compilers.

The Windows installer does not include DMD in itself, it just
downloads the zip file and sets it up. You could go the same way.
This way, you don't need to get permission from WB.

Ok, so if the zip from dlang.org downloads is downloaded and unpacked on
the computer automatically it's all good?

Yes, and you'll also be getting the latest that way, rather than having to
constantly update your installer.
